One of the trickier waste streams for cafes and foodie businesses. We need to be smart about this one, and completely avoid where we can! 💛

Nose to tail, root to shoot cooking is where it’s at. With so many leading foodies championing zero waste menus, we felt it worth a little giveaway celebration! Tag your favourite cafe for your chance to win a signed copy of ‘Use It All’ from the peeps @cornersmith 💛

Cafes and foodie businesses play such an important

Cafes and foodie businesses play such an important role in our communities, providing employment, supporting local food systems, purchasing locally, and enhancing our sense of community.

In building a better more sustainable future for the Northern Rivers, we believe there was no better place to start than with this innovative, adaptable and influential industry.

Since our kick off we have been delighted by the calibre of business that have joined the program. We want you to know that you are part of something big.

Yes we are getting food waste out of landfill, yes we are looking to provide better alternatives than single use coffee cups, but what we are ultimately building is a new benchmark for how we do business in the Northern Rivers 💛

Love your work Mel! 💛@pinewood_corner

Meet Robbie Hill from @latitude29yamba 👋

Robbie is a forward thinking member of Circular Cafes. Not only is he capturing any food waste generated from his cafe, he is also looking to support other businesses where food waste solutions are a bit more tricky. Robbie captures what he can and feeds it back into the local food cycle through regenerative farming, capturing carbon and improving soils.

Thanks for being part of the movement and making awesome stuff happen! 💛
